Mailman 3 October 2005 - Mailman-Users

icon location and defaults

What controls icons and whether they display or not? It seems that when I am at my office, the three icons at the bottom of the mailman admin page display, but when accessing it remotely, they do NOT display. Also, where is the icon for the URL, which is supposed to display when domain.com/mailman/whatever is loaded, the left of the address? On my system, I just have the Mambo orange flower showing for everything, whether Mambo, Mailman, or other web apps. Scott

Posting problems to all users of our mailing list...
by Troy Cranford Oct. 27, 2005

Oct. 27, 2005

Morning All, Fairly long story so please bear with me. I am the webmaster for our local parent teachers origination's web page. One of our duties is to send a weekly email to about 550 users with current school happenings. Since it's inception last year my Mailman mail list has not reached all users. I've worked with several of our users to diagnose the problem with no success. I find no correlation at all with the users...some are Road Runner, AOL, SBC Global etc. I've asked all to check … [View More]

Many thanks, Mark. I had run check_perms earlier (when I installed), but must have messed up a few permissions since then. This fixed eveything. Excellent suggestion!

mailman without hosting mail server
by Darich Runyan/OMNI INFOSEC HQ Oct. 27, 2005

Oct. 27, 2005

All, New to the list and mailman so please go easy. ;^) I did check the archives as well as did some extensive searching online and was unable to find an answer to my question. My company's email is hosted by an email provider. This has not been a bad arrangement; however, now we would like to provide some email lists. Is it possible to host mailman and lists without hosting our own mail? If it is possible would any of you please point me to some documentation or possibly … [View More]

the "shunt" mail queue
by JOSEPH DAMICO Oct. 27, 2005

Oct. 27, 2005

Hello, I sent a message to a mailman list on my server. The message was not delivered. At first, I got a mesage indicating that sendmail was not running with group=mailman. So I stopped and started sendmail with group=mailman. This allowed the mail to get as far as the "in" queue but could go no farther. Permission errors during processing clued me into the idea of stopping and re-starting sendmail with user=mailman and group=mailman. Now, I see no error messages, but the notes I post … [View More]

Problem with Postfix virtual Domains
by Jan-Simon Winkelmann Oct. 27, 2005

Oct. 27, 2005

Hi! As I posted previously, I am running a postfix/cyrus mailserver combination along with mailman. There is no problem with the mailing lists as long as I stick to the original configuration for the domain: DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'webnauts.net' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.webnauts.net' MTA = 'Postfix' POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['webnauts.net'] add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) As soon as I change the config to: DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'lists.webnauts.net' DEFAULT_URL_HOST … [View More]

"bounce" message from misconfigured mail host(s) [postoffice@xizor.is.scarlet.be: Returned mail: User unknown]
by Hannah Schroeter Oct. 26, 2005

Oct. 26, 2005

Hello! I'm getting "bounces" like this from a misconfigured site which bounces to the header From instead of the envelope from. Perhaps that recipient should just be removed from the list? The "bounce" has envelope from jean.jacques.blanckaert(a)tiscali.be (should be empty!) header from postoffice(a)xizor.is.scarlet.be and stems from [193.74.71.21] (helo=xizor.is.scarlet.be) (helo matches the reverse-mapping of the IP, double reverse check matches) Its received lines seem to be … [View More]echoed from the original mail (bad!). The upmost received lines from the original mail are: Received: from (smtp-vbr10.xs4all.nl [194.109.24.30]) by fundy.is.scarlet.be with ESMTP id j9NJNaoW011305 for <jjbl3213(a)tiscali.be>; Sun, 23 Oct 2005 21:23:36 +0200 Received: from bag.python.org (bag.python.org [194.109.207.14]) by smtp-vbr10.xs4all.nl (8.13.3/8.13.3) with ESMTP id j9NJNV5u040983 for <jjbl3213(a)tiscali.be>; Sun, 23 Oct 2005 21:23:36 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from mailman-users-bounces+jjbl3213=tiscali.be(a)python.org) Received: from bag.python.org (bag [127.0.0.1]) by bag.python.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E0E2B1E411D for <jjbl3213(a)tiscali.be>; Sun, 23 Oct 2005 21:23:14 +0200 (CEST) So something at or after smtp-vbr10.xs4all.nl or fundy.is.scarlet.be is heavily misconfigured. Please fix this (CC is set to people who could be responsible): DSNs should have an empty (null) envelope sender and should be sent *only* to the envelope sender of the original message, the header (From/Reply-To) should never be evaluated for creating DSNs/bounces.
